In our forums, our members have been discussing solutions for ‘3-wood phobia’. WRXer ‘AP76’ kicks off the thread saying:
“Hi guys, been through countless 3-woods and for the life of me I can’t get one I can hit consistently. I mostly hook them or throw in the occasional top! It’s baffling as I am a decent ball striker, but I think this is mostly between the ears.”
And our members have been sharing their suggestions and advice in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- NoTalentLefty: “I suffered with this. As a final straw, I ordered a 3 wood from a TV commercial. It worked. The Adam’s Tight Lie gave me hope.”
- ChipNRun: “Go with a 4W. I’m in my eleventh season of a 4W + 7W setup (although I switched models a couple of times). 4W has a couple of extra degrees of loft to help with launch and (usually) a shorter shaft to help with control (your hook and top problem). Studies show that many golfers hit a 4W more reliably, and sometimes longer than a 3W.”
- Cliffy2020: “Get a Ping G425 5W and turn the loft down as needed/wanted. It also has a “flat” setting on the hosel adapter that will help against the hooker.”
- R5Two: “7w and 3HL baby. Great combo.”
